2010-11-12 23:29:47 DLM posts huge numbers of links on the Wiki, most of which are now defunct. I just got done removing more than 40 such links—the dead ones, with only about 20 working links still existing. Unfortunately, this is just the latest of several such efforts; another 120 or so dead links were already removed in the past 4 months. —TomGarberson
